Current conditions at Zipolite, Mazunte...etc. July 12, 2012 12:34PM | IP/Host: ---.prod-infinitum.com.mx Registered: 2 years ago Posts: 18 |
Does anyone know the current conditions along the Zipolite/.Mazunte beach strip? Particularly the area of restaurant Alchemista and others in that area. I know they were hit very hard by Carlotta but don't know if they are open for business again or not. Would like to go over there on Sunday but not if everything is still closed up. Anyone been there recently?

I was at Zipolite about 10 days ago. Lots of the destruction from the storm has been cleaned up, but there are quite a few businesses that have been temporarily wiped out. I don't specifically know about the Alchemista, but I am sure the businesses that are left really need some customers. You should go, support a few of the surviving businesses and check it out for yourself.

Would you mind snapping some photos at Hotel Playa Zipolite and then right accross the alley on the beach at La Choza? And if you're checking it all out, a shot of Jaggers Bar accross from Carey would also be welcome. That's all in the Roca Blanca section. I'd also love to know how the lifegaurds fared...

The Alchemista is open. They will appreciate your business and please tip generously. The government has helped businesses but families have received very little help. The man who usually waits on us lost his roof and they are still trying to get it replaced...not a good situation in the rainy season. San Agustinillo is pretty much back to normal although many restaurants close this time of the year. La Mora, La Termita, Punta Placer are all open and I think Mexico Lindo is opening for the July "temporada". Mazunte is still struggling to clean up and many of their beach restaurants were destroyed but some restaurants have reopened.

Sorry, didn't have my camera and I don't know what Zipolite looked like before Carlotta's visit. Keeping that in mind:
Hotel Zipolite looks to be fully operational and in good shape.
La Choza appears to be mostly operational, but still needs rebuilding of blown off/damaged palapa areas.
Alquemista appears to be completely normal - great food, wow!
A Nice Place on the Beach - also seems to be normal.
Brisas also appeared to be completely operational and fine.
Everything across the street - looks fine. Most of the shops were open Sunday afternoon.
Places that look to be hit hard or not open are: Lo Cosmica, Shambhala, and a few more in the Roca Blanca area - but I don't remember their names.
La Havana seems to have had about 1/3rd of their elevated cabanas blown down - and are now removed. But the others are still there and appear to be well used.

Thanks, Beachbay. I'll get the Hotel Playa Zipolite and Jaegger's Bar reviews up, then.
